Embodiment Construction

[0022] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, specific implementations of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a photon detection device for positron emission tomography, described as an illustrative example. In positron emission tomography (PET), a radiopharmaceutical is injected into an imaged subject, and its radioactive decay events generate positrons. Each positron interacts with an electron to produce two oppositely directed gamma (γ) photons. The gamma photons are detected by the detection device and checked by the system, and the response lines are counted to reconstruct the image. The photon detection device for positron emission tomography proposed by the present invention includes a detection array composed of a plurality of detection units 100 . Such as figure 1 As shown,...

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of positron emission tomography, in particular to a photon detection device for positron emission tomography. 【Background technique】 [0002] With the development of PET (Positron Emission Tomography, Positron Emission Tomography) imaging technology, PET scanning equipment has been widely used in the medical field. PET scanning equipment is an advanced medical diagnostic imaging equipment, which has become an indispensable important equipment in the diagnosis and pathological research of tumors, heart and brain diseases. In a PET scan, the patient is first injected with radiopharmaceuticals, which are tracers synthesized from radionuclides and compounds needed for the body's metabolism, such as glucose, choline, acetic acid, etc. , and release positrons and neutrinos. The mass of a positron is equal to that of an electron, and the charge of a positron is the same as that of an electron, but with opposite...
